What the IP54 Kit Delivers
The VW3AP0302 is an IP54 conformity kit for Schneider Altivar Process ATV600 and ATV900 compact drive systems rated 200 to 315 kW. It raises the standard enclosure's protection degree to IP54 — meaning the drive assembly resists dust ingress and water splashes from any direction, suitable for washdown areas or outdoor cabinets where a lower IP rating would risk contamination of the power stage. The kit comprises two upper air ducts, one lower air duct, and a 200 mm plinth. These direct cooling airflow through the drive while maintaining the sealed boundary, so the thermal performance of the drive is preserved inside the IP54 envelope.
Ordering Constraint — Not a Standalone Item
This accessory cannot be ordered alone. It is only available in combination with a standard enclosure from the Altivar Process range. If you are sourcing the VW3AP0302 for a panel build, the enclosure must be specified on the same line — the kit is a field-fit upgrade, not a separate box.
Listed lifecycle stage is mature, and the product status is Active per Schneider's current records. That means no imminent end-of-life, no last-time-buy clock. For BOM planning, this kit is a stable line item — not subject to the phase-out cadence of some drive accessories.
